This morning’s FACT mix is a masterful session from a revitalised Paul Woolford, one of British house music’s most prolific figures.

Known for his work with labels like 20:20 Vision and his own Intimacy imprint, Woolford’s been a part of house music’s furniture for the best part of a decade, down in no short part to his residency at Ibiza’s We Love Space and his inescapable cyber-Funky anthem ‘Erotic Discourse’, released in 2005 under the name Bobby Peru.

2011 however, has seen Woolford reinvigorated, producing some of his best work to date for singles on Phonica and Carl Craig’s Planet E label, and making links with more contemporary UK artists like Appleblim and Altered Natives.

His FACT mix was made shortly after coming off tour with Carl Craig, and it’s no surprise to find it inhabits the middle-ground between established and up-front house fare, with Space Dimension Controller, Objekt and Pearson Sound facing off with Theo Parrish, Scott Grooves and Mike Dehnert. Naturally, there’s also some exclusives: an unreleased Kassem Mosse and MixMup remix of Woolford’s own ‘Deflowered’, and some intriguing anonymous business for Hotflush.

Los Angeles born and bred, Vangelis and Vidal Vargas were raised in the ’80s on a steady diet of Latin freestyle, electro, and new wave that pervaded their urban
environment. Their father also exposed them to cutting edge progressive acts Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, planting early seeds for aural exploration.

By the mid ’90s they were sampling LA’s underground club scene and heavily researching electronic music’s roots. After years of influence they began to express their musical vision through their own recordings and performances. Vidal and Vangelis eventually found common ground with producer / performer Drumcell, and in 2002 they formed the Droid Behavior event production group and record label out of frustration with the city’s lack of knowledge, acceptance, and understanding for Midwest-bred techno and house music and their European counterparts.

As producers Vangelis and Vidal have released and licensed original music and remixes under various aliases (most notably Acid Circus and Raíz) on the Droid Recordings imprint as well as respected labels Historia y Violencia, Tora Tora Tora, DJMag, Music Man, Resident Advisor, Enemy Rec, Gynoid, Reloading, Micro.Fon and Timefog.

Their music has been charted, played and supported by Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, DVS1, Levon Vincent, Jonas Kopp, etc. Their intense and inspiring performances have placed them alongside major players Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Dan Bell, Surgeon, Sandwell District, Robag, Paco Osuna, Pan Pot, Marco Carola, Detroit Grand Pubahs, and Ostgut residents at undergrounds, festivals, after hours, and club nights all over the Americas, and Europe including Berghain in Berlin.

The members or Raiz not only produce for Droid recordings but also help manage the label as well over see all event production, bookings, the droid podcast, and blog site.

Grey Music Project (or more commonly known as just Grey) is no stranger to the Harmonious Discord imprint; nor are they to the electronic music landscape with a 10 year discography on musical outlets like Guidance, Fair Park, and Blunted Funk. Grey was the fuel the fired the creation of Harmonious Discord and included two of the labels founders Sean Anderson and Eric Reeves. In the early 2000’s Eric and Sean would travel between Houston and Dallas to vanish inside a studio and cram as much creative writing into a single weekend as possible. After a brief hiatus, the last 4 years they have shifted focus on their solo projects; Sean’s “PointBender” project brought a new edgy techno sound to his already stable house foundation and Eric’s “Litex” moniker is a solid outlet for bass driven dance gems.

Forgotten Frequencies is a collection of tunes from the vault that were slated for many years for vinyl release and because of shifts in technologies never saw the light of day. We felt we couldn’t keep these tunes a secret any longer and are excited about their new home on Harmonious Discord.

A few days late on my part, but still a dope mix none the less. Coming as JLD #111 we’ve got Scribble hailing from Halifax N.S., birthplace of JLD. Scribble wasn’t around back when I was living in Halifax, so I don’t have much information about her but I do know she’s been promoting and spinning shows in Halifax for a little bit now. So I’ve gotta give her props. Great track selection in this mix, definitely no lack of bass.
